I used to tremble at the stormy skies,
The roaring winds, the thundered cries.
Each crashing wave, a whispered threat,
I hid in shadows, cold and wet.
But life kept moving wild and wide
No place to run, no place to hide.
It pulled me out, beyond the shore,
And showed me I was so much more.
Each scar upon my skin and soul
Tells stories where I lost control
Yet rose again, with fiercer grace,
Determined steps, a brighter face.
The pain once wrapped around my core,
A silent scream I couldn’t ignore.
But now it burns a steady flame,
A fire I own, no longer shame.
I’ve stumbled hard, I’ve tasted fear,
Yet still I stand, year after year.
The strength I searched for endlessly
Was always waiting deep in me.
No echo of a past mistake
Can shake the ground I’ve come to make.
I’ve forged a home beneath my skin,
With roots of iron grown within.
Like blossoms stretching toward the dawn,
I rise anew each time I’m gone.
I bend with storms, I break, I heal
Each crack, a mark of what is real.
So here I bloom, from deep inside,
No longer lost, no need to hide.
My journey’s fierce, my path is mine
A life rebuilt, a soul divine.
